Senior Technical Recruiter

Avive • Brisbane, CA

3d • $120,000 - $140,000

About The Position

We are looking for a Senior Technical Recruiter who can operate as both a strategic talent partner and a hands-on recruiting expert. This person will own and drive our technical hiring engine across hardware, software, product, and operations — ensuring Avive builds the world-class team needed to scale our life-saving technology nationwide.
Put simply: you will be responsible for attracting, engaging, and hiring the technical talent that powers our mission.

This role will partner deeply with Engineering, Hardware, Product, and Operations leadership to define talent strategy, forecast hiring needs, develop scalable recruiting processes, and execute on priority searches. This is a high-impact role that will directly influence Avive’s ability to innovate quickly and deliver life-saving products to communities across the country.

Requirements

• 7+ years of progressive recruiting experience, with significant time spent hiring technical and hardware/software talent in high-growth or complex engineering environments (MedTech, consumer hardware, device manufacturing, robotics, etc.).
• Demonstrated success sourcing and closing niche technical roles in competitive markets — particularly hardware, embedded systems, firmware, and full-stack engineering.
• Ability to partner with senior leaders, influence decisions, and guide technical stakeholders with confidence and clarity.
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, mission-driven startup environment with changing priorities and evolving hiring needs.
• Highly organized and data-oriented: able to forecast, track pipelines, and build strategic hiring plans.
• Genuine connection to Avive’s mission and passion for impacting life-saving innovation.

Nice To Haves

• Experience recruiting for DevOps, infrastructure, platform, or cloud engineering roles in complex technical environments.
• Prior experience hiring and supporting offshore or distributed engineering teams, including coordination across time zones and geographies.
• Familiarity with recruiting in a regulated MedTech, medical device, or highly regulated hardware/software environment, including collaboration with Quality, Regulatory, or Compliance teams.
• Experience scaling recruiting processes during periods of rapid company growth.
• Exposure to building recruiting programs that support both near-term execution and long-term workforce planning.

Responsibilities

• Partner with software, hardware, product, and operations leaders to deeply understand business goals, workforce planning needs, and future organizational design.
• Create and drive Avive’s technical hiring strategy — including sourcing frameworks, process optimization, and long-term pipeline development.
• Provide market intelligence, compensation benchmarking, and talent insights to influence executive-level hiring decisions.
• Own end-to-end recruiting for a diverse range of technical roles — from sourcing, coordinating, and engagement through offer negotiation and closing.
• Build and manage highly targeted sourcing strategies for niche, hard-to-find engineering talent (hardware, embedded software, firmware, software, product, etc.).
• Maintain exceptional candidate experience aligned with Avive’s values: transparent, respectful, mission-driven, and fast-moving.
• Build proactive pipelines for critical technical roles and future key hires, leveraging outbound sourcing, events, networking, and creative channels.
• Strengthen Avive’s employer brand externally by representing the company at industry events, conferences, university partnerships, or meetups.
• Collaborate with People, Marketing, and Engineering leadership to create compelling recruiting content and outreach narratives.
• Define, refine, and scale recruiting workflows, scorecards, interview training, and tools to support a rapidly growing technical organization.
• Monitor and report on hiring metrics, funnel performance, candidate quality, and time-to-fill — using data to inform decisions and drive accountability.
• Identify opportunities to make our hiring processes more equitable, efficient, and consistent.
